Do you believe every word of the Bible was inspired by GOD? Do you believe if a story were told to 10 different people and the first person had written it down, the 10th person would have written the same?

No and yes...although the 'themes and message' of the Bible were certainly inspired by God.

No and yes...although the 'themes and message' of the Bible were certainly inspired by God. But,,who said so...one of the "authors"? Of course they will say they were inspired. What about the Koran(sp), King James version etc, Were the authors not "inspired". What I'm saying is ALL of the "authors" in my opinion, interject their OWN version of "inspiration" and no one can state factually it was "certainly inspired" by God. That, in my opinion, is called blind faith...am I correct?

Well, faith is what religion is all about. You have to take it all on faith. I certainly get your point though.

This doesn't sound like you at all, JP. What gives? When Roy announced he was sick, JP posted that he too was diagnosed with a serious illness. Maybe he has been studying the bible for the final exam. Let's hope the test date is far into the future.

Just trying to stimulate dialogue. Nothing against Religion and yes, I've been Cancer free for 9 years now and just got good news after my last exam. I've had so many colon exams the Doctor stated "In some third World Countries we'd be engaged" I know Rev your post was said in humor, but to receive word you have the Big C and they have to operate...this news is devastating...and yes I cried and cried. My best friend, my wife , and my children stood watch, I don't wish that type of news on anyone and yes, I thank GOD I still have a life. I received word this morning the Best man at our wedding is terminal and only a matter of time

Just was wandering why the "Religion" thread is listed in the "Uncensored - Mature Content" area. Isn't religion for everyone? Not trying to cause a stir but I just found it a bit odd.
P.S. Since this is my first post on the new board I haven't had a chance to say JOB WELL DONE TO THOSE WHO HAVE CREATED AND MONITOR THIS BOARD. Keep up the good work.

I received a PM reply from someone who I will not ID but what was said is true and I will quote it. " I would rather believe there is a God than not to believe and find out there is" or something like that. John
